Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

Genomics and phylogenetic relationships of microsporidia and their relatives

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that all possess a unique infection apparatus involving a polar tube. Upon contact with a host cell, this tube forms the conduit through which the parasite enters the host. Infecting mostly animals, microsporidian species can be transmitted vertically or horizontally, and exert various effects on their

Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 63-77, January 2024.
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

Identification of two new genetic loci for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi

Parasite
In addition to the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) locus, four loci (MS1, MS3, MS4, and MS7) have been identified to develop multilocus sequence typing tools for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in previous studies ...

HIV/AIDS in Combination with Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infection

Science Insights, 2023
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a significant public health problem caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The most common cause of death in AIDS patients is opportunistic infection with various microorganisms. Intestinal protozoa, such as Enterocytozoon bieneusi, are prevalent yet difficult to treat.
